Stewart PAGES: 3 FAX: 972-490-5599 Items Transmitted: Memo from Marcie Diamond to Gary Sieb, dated August 16, 2002, conceming Administrative Approval of your request for a revised site plan to allow for the construction of 50 parking spaces for Mohawk on property at the above location. Remarks: For your records. Department. I have also forwarded this to Teresa Turner in our Engineering If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact me at 972-304-3676 or e- mail at mdiamond~,,ci.coppell.tx.us. August 16, 2002 TO: C-CSPi'-EL£ MEMORANDUM GARY L. SIEB, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES FROM: Maxcie Diamond, Assistant Director of Planning and Community Services SUBJECT: Administrative approval of Additional Parking for Mohawk I received a request from James Stewart of Champion Properties, on behalf of Mohawk, for ~ve approv~ to allow the.expansion of the existing parking lot by~50 s~ace4 to serve the 150 employees of this 300,000 square foot lease space. The need for this parking is detailed in the attached letter from Mr. Stewart with exhibits attached, illustrating the design for the parking lot and the required tree relocations. As you may recall, this property, which is located east of the northeast comer of Bethel and Royal, was zoned PD-185 to allow for a reduction in the parking for warehouse use to one space per 5,000-square feet, subject to the assurance that if additional paxking~is n~eed.ed, it could be provided while .meeting the landscape reguirements. This request is to add 50 parking spaces in close proximity to the front door of Mohawk. There axe currently 152 spaces, and this will bring the total parking to 202 spaces. Mr. Stewart's original request indicated a 30-foot landscaped buffer between the expanded parking lot and Bethel Road. After my conversation with Mr. Stewart, he increased the Landscaped ~uffer area to 60 feet. There are.21 trees that will need to be relocated to allow for this parking lot. As illustrated on the attached, all 21 trees will be relocated in this immediate area, over half of which will be placed in front of the expanded parking lot, therefore exceeding the parking lot landscaping requirements. In terms of non- vehicular landscaping, as part of this PD, 3.6 acres of credit was given for the detention area along the eastern property line. This expanded parking area is less than one-half of an acre in size; therefore, there is still a significant amount of excess non-vehicular landscaping in this PD. The perimeter landscaping will not be affected. P~g¢ I of 2 This expanded parking lot will be well screened from Royal Lane due to existing landscaping on the "sun dial" property and from Bethel Road due to the relocation of the existing trees. I visited the site on August 16, 2002, and it appeared that most of the parking stalls were occupied. While I was taking the attached pictures, I drove beyond the "secured area" and was questioned by the guard. I explained that I was from the City looking at the parking situation. He reiterated the need for additional parking. Therefore, to avoid the issues with overflow parking on streets which currently exists in other sections of our industrial areas and to serve one of our newest corporations, we are requesting administrative approval of this amended site plan to allow for the expeditious construction of 50 additional parking spaces.

We have revised the location of the new parking plan to allow for a s.ixLy foot landscaped frontage. The Mohawk Southwest operation in Tradepoint 1 is a highly active distribution center whose employment now exceeds the parking available to this tenant. Also the security of the facility is such that employee access is restricted to the front entrance to the building, thus the preferred location of the additional parking being in close proximity to the main entrance. Safety issues are also of significant concern. Trying to locate, mix, and coordinate additional auto parking with the tractor-trailer activity is a rather hazardous matter. At this time Mohawk has traffic control personnel monitoring ingress and egress to the truck courts. Employee vehicles are not allowed in this congested area. Additionally, the approach onto Bethel Road is not wide enough for tractor-trailers to negotiate tuming onto the narrow road without over running the curb and severely rutting the unpaved portion of the street right-of-way. We are requesting that the city allow a concrete ~houlder to be added at top of curb elevation. This will provide a load-beating surface for trailer wheels to overrun the curb without damaging the parkway. We trust that our concerns for city landscape compliances, user traffic, safety, and security issues have been appropriately addressed. We would appreciate your earliest review and approval of this submittal as this is a matter of great concern to Mohawk and Champion Partners. Please feel free to give me a call ifI can be of any service.
